How does Wang Duo's Ci evaluate Wang Duo's poetry, calligraphy and painting works? He made great achievements, especially in calligraphy, and the world called him "Wang Duo".
Wang Duo's cursive poems Volume 1
Wang Duo is a genius in calligraphy, with varied skills and styles. His cursive script is based on the two kings, with Zhong You as the main book and Mi Fei and Yan Zhenqing as the students. His writing is vigorous and free, dripping and carefree, and he has great courage.
Wang Duo's calligraphy is very popular in emerging countries such as Japan, South Korea and Japan. Especially in Japan, Wang Duo's calligraphy is a school of its own, and a school called "Ming and Qing Tunes" has been derived. His calligraphy posts caused a sensation in Japan. They think that he is the best calligrapher, and that his calligraphy attainments are higher than Wang Xizhi's.
Throughout the history of calligraphy in China, there is a saying that "the first queen was Wang Xizhi and the second king was this Wang Duo". Dong Qichang's calligraphy was popular in the Ming Dynasty, while Wang Duo advocated adopting the ancient method to create a new calligraphy style. Both of them are equally famous, and they are known as the "kings of the East, South and North" in the late Ming Dynasty.
Wang Duo's calligraphy, whether bold, simple, elegant or vigorous cursive, was first-class in the late Ming Dynasty and even in the Ming Dynasty.
I have to mention that although Wang Duo's calligraphy is high, it has also been unpopular in history. Wang Duo was listed in the Biography of Erlang because of the Qing Dynasty. The world accused him of his integrity and insulted his character, so his calligraphy works have long been ignored and unknown. Under the washing of the long river of history, after several generations of research, Wang Duo's calligraphy finally shines and is highly respected. Wang Duo, with his brilliant talents and profound skills, can be described as the "Master of Zhongxing" in the calligraphy field of the Ming Dynasty.
Appreciation of Wang Duo's calligraphy works by Wang Duomo has been handed down from generation to generation, and calligraphy posts and inscriptions have been handed down from generation to generation, including Clear Draft, Wang Wei's Five-character Poem Volume, Yuan Shu Poetry Collection, Luozhou Xiangshan Poetry Axis, etc., but the most famous ones are Zhuanyuan Post and Langhuating Post.
In Wang Duo's "Quasi-Mountain Garden Post" and "Poem Axis of Xiangshan, Luozhou", Wang Duo took Mi Fei's leaning role on the edge of the structural frame to the extreme, and it was really strange to use the ink-raising rule to stipple and change the font and font. On this basis, he used the center to strengthen the grab bar, forming a sharp contrast between light and heavy, which really made Feilong rise unexpectedly. Although block letters are rare in Wang Duo's works, they can be spoken. In the first half of the poem volume, the size, knot, calligraphy and painting and spacing of calligraphy are full of a strange feeling. The second half of the poem is cursive, which is not uncommon in his works. The composition is ever-changing, the brushwork is free, the whole is distinct, the frame is unpredictable, the stippling is complicated, and the lines correspond to reality. Because of this, his achievements are highly praised by later generations.
Zhuan Shan Yuan Tie is Wang Duo's most famous masterpiece. It is a copy of Wang Duo in his later years and a selection of his excellent works. The selection of materials is extremely meticulous, and his energy for 40 years has been concentrated here. Most of them are written in lines. Wang Duo's son carved it in the garden, which has been circulated for three centuries.
However, Wang Duo can now get the highest reputation as a "magic pen". In addition to his outstanding talent, his extreme love and practice of calligraphy is also inevitable. Day after day, day after day, day after day, he never stopped, so that he gained a recognized position in the world of calligraphy today.
